In October 2016, the Chinese government donated $2 million to the World Food Programme (WFP) to support the famine-affected regions in Somalia, where a drought has deteriorated the food security situation (UNOCHA: Financial Tracking Service Flow ID: 149621).

On October 18, 2016, the WFP held a ceremony in Mogadishu to thank the Chinese government for the donation.
The donation will provide access to nutritious and curative food for malnourished children and mothers in Somalia.
Chinese Ambassador to Somalia, Wei Hongtian, and Minister of Interior and Federal Affairs of Somalia, Abdirashid Mohamed Hidig, attended the ceremony on behalf of their respective governments. This project is completed. This project is Linked to Record ID#52398, a $8 million donation made in 2016 to Ethiopia for the same purpose.
